Dallas Spartan Beast 2014

As we drove through the beautiful hillside of mid-Texas we began to realize what Saturday would hold for us! There were amazing views, beautiful landscapes, and some tough terrain. 

                   

We stayed at Rough Creek Lodge and it was AMAZING! Seriously, if you are a hunter, or just want a relaxing place to get away, this is the place! Check out our digs!

It was a cold morning, only 47 degrees and windy. But, numb toes and all, we made it to the event and did our best! We started off entering right into the water. Water that we soon realized was littered with dead floating fish!! That made us move a little faster! Here is the course map...it  was intense to say the least!

 We finished this 12.69 mile race in 5:04:09! Our goal was to do each mile in about 15 to 20 minutes. We were not too far off from that.

Check out our route here.  We did everything...the tire flip, log flip, barbed wire crawl, walls, inverted walls, sandbag carry, swam about 200 yards, and ran...a lot, and so on and had so much fun doing it! Check us out:

 Those tires were beastly! But fun to flip! We ran a lot...and then...ran more!

 

I was really excited for this swim! I had just come off of a Triathlon 2 weeks before, so I was good and ready for a swim! This was about 200 yards.

 
 

 We stayed together the whole time and helped each other out!

Triumph! Check out that form on the fire jump! haha

 

We had so much fun at this race! It really wasn't that bad. yes, we were sore afterwards. Yes, we got a massage the next day. But, it was such a great experience! I definitely want to do it again next year! :)

Here's to the next workout! Until then...
